I love using the comparison of video to print materials. It helps bring the book to life for the students.
Videos bring life to any story! It’s like a field trip!
These look like helpful resources. I am going to check them out!
My little ones with autism engage so much better with a video, than with me reading (no matter how animated I am!). They are a great way to introduce a book.
I would love to have these as a resource in my classroom!
We love to use storybook videos as a transition from school time to lunch. Dimming the lights and getting comfy for a few minutes really helps the children relax before lunch. The bonus is they are hearing more voices read to them then just our teachers. Everyone reads differently so it is nice to listen to others. The dvd’s usually are very verbally animated!! Love it!!
So cool.
I love using videos that show the words to songs, words to stories, etc. I believe it helps students learn that the words they hear can be written down. They learn the connection.
Also, videos take the place of field trips that are not possible. Obviously we can’t take a trip to a lion’s natural habitat, but we can see the habitat on video.
Oh wow would love to win these. What a great addition to the classroom
I love all those books!! I would love to win them!
I want them please! One can never have too many videos!
I teach ELL students and they need to see and experience life to uderstand and translate it. Videos and technology allows me to teach them.
I use video daily in my classroom for teaching content and for brain breaks! It makes all the difference!
Video allows me to build much needed schema for my special needs classroom. All of my students come from underprivileged homes and many are ELL students as well so I love to show them a concept rather just tell them about it. Thanks for the chance to expand our video library!
Videos in the classroom enhance student learning by bringing characters to life.
My students would love to see these books come to life.
Thanks for the chance!
My students love to hear and watch the video version of books.
My students really enjoy watching books on the big screen after we have read them together.
I love sharing videos with books that we read. We always like to compare the 2 to see if they are the same.
I love videos because they help to get students even more interested in the story!
Love the dot!!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for all the great giveaways. Your generosity it truly appreciated. My class loves to watch DVDS. They are crazy about dinosaurs.
It helps to present a lesson in many formats when you’re working with students that have limited experiences and depend on school field trips to explore their local community. Video also enhances a lesson for all visual learners as well as all ELL learners.
What an awesome opportunity to bridge print resources to video resources – a great way to explain to students different media and their uses. FABULOUS give away, thanks!
I use videos to reach visual and auditory learners.
What great videos resources to add to those I have been able to use. Our school corp has blocked so many that we used to use. Thank you.
My students love to hear the book and then listen and watch the stories on video.
Using videos resources in the classroom make the stories come to life. i love seeing the lit up eyes when the children see the characters we’ve been reading come to life on the screen.
We use videos as some children need visual to comprehend better.
I always read the book first to my class and then try to show a video/dvd of the book. Then we do a comparison/contrast activity. The students really enjoy this
